Sending the hope and grace of Jesus to the world!

Today, we stand in awe of the finished

work of Jesus and rejoice at how that work of redemption is being proclaimed and celebrated around the world through TBN. TBN pro-gramming is available to over 1.6 billion people through our 30 international affiliate networks, but we dream of reaching over 7 billion. That means our partners are ful-filling both vital halves of Jesus’ “Great Commission”—bringing salvation to the lost and making disciples.

FAITH-FORWARD, JESUS-HONORING MEDIA CONTENTBy God’s grace and power, TBN has truly become a global network—gifted with an opportunity to bring faith-for-ward, Jesus-honoring media content to souls on every inhabited continent. We’re opening that gift and putting it to use for Jesus’ Kingdom and God’s glory, and we’re doing this by creating a wave of brand-new programs that feature the best in Biblical, Spirit-empowered teaching; fascinat-ing, uplifting conversation; and spiritually enriching, cul-turally relevant original series.

On top of all that, we’re adding local programs in each region around the world to make sure that people in every

part of the world hear the Gospel from people who look and talk just like themselves.

... Jesus’ private, intimate interactions with a single person still impact, teach, and inspire us.

Yes, the Gospels describe Jesus’ ministry to the crowds, but His most powerful moments tended to be His one-on-one encounters. After two millennia, the Biblical accounts of Jesus’ private, intimate interactions with a single person still impact, teach, and inspire us.

Think about the woman at the well, the tax collec-tor Zacchaeus who climbed a tree just to see Jesus, the woman who served and worshipped Jesus by washing His feet, Nicodemus who was the first to learn the mystery of the new birth, and Jesus’ dear friends Mary and Martha. He touched and changed their lives one at a time.

The idea of reaching 7 billion people is amazing, but in the end, that’s just a huge number. What really encourages and motivates us is hearing stories of individuals changed by Jesus through this ministry. TBN could reach the same num-ber of people by broadcasting one channel in one language

all over the world. But that wouldn’t be nearly as effective, would it? People are unique, cultures are varied, and life is dif-ferent in each community.

UNIQUE PEOPLE AND DIVERSE CULTURESSo TBN continues to expand globally by expanding locally. Most of the 30+ TBN networks serve diverse populations, in an ever-growing array of languages and local content. This month, we are excited about giving God the glory for the work He’s doing through the international TBN networks.

NEW MINISTRY SHOWS INTHE UNITED KINGDOMExcitement is building and lives are being changed through Jesus-honoring pro-grams produced at the studios of TBN UK. Studio productions include several new ministry series, such as Healing in Jesus’ Name with John Mellor, Days of Wonderwith Jarrod Cooper, and Heart 2 Heartwith Pastor Doug Williams. Messages of hope and grace continue in the new sea-sons of Treasures of Grace with Emmanuel Ziga, Grace Shouts Louder with Pastor Ray Bevan, and Demystifying the Kingdom of God with Pastor Alan Scotland.

Reaching millions of homes across the UK is truly awe-inspiring, but seeing the healing hand of our Savior at work drives us to step out further in faith.

... TBN programming was there to lift up Jo’s spirits and help her get through one more day.

Recently, TBN UK viewer Jo shared how lifesaving, Jesus-honoring Christian programming helped on her journey to freedom, as years of drug addiction gave way to deliverance. While recovery was difficult, some days even to the point that she battled suicidal thoughts, the TBN programming was there to lift up Jo’s spirits and help her get through one more day. She has now been a Christian for two years and was baptized this summer.

TEACHING & HEALING PROGRAMS DRAWING VIEWERS IN PAKISTANSecond Peter 3:9 reminds us that our Lord isn’t willing for anyone to perish. That is why we continue to seize every possible opportunity to reach the lost and equip the Believers in Asia. JCTV in Pakistan is thriving, despite a culture that is often hostile to the Gospel.

JCTV broadcasts from their studio in Lahore and frequently ventures out to sponsor teaching and healing in places like Gawahi Prayer Center, SSB Biblical University, and Victory Family Church. Brother Nasir from Gujranwala recently shared his appreciation for the min-istry of JCTV, especially the program

SOUL SAVED IN THE UK

I don’t know what made me turn to TBN UK … but then I felt as if

God was talking to me. I said the sim-ple saving prayer you hear many

times on TBN UK, and after I said it, I was flooded with a sense of true joy and peace, crying and smiling at the

same time.

Rah-e-Amal, which brings teachings “that lead to the right path.” Another JCTV viewer rated the program Roz ki Roti as excellent, with the messages of Dr. Rauf Sabir being “very blessed and soul winning.”

SCANDINAVIA GOES LIVETBN Nordic, previously a streaming service, went live via satellite this fall in Scandinavia with a potential to reach over 21 million people. We are so excited about what God has in store for Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia. Stay tuned; we will be sharing stories of changed lives through the spreading of the Gospel in the months to come.

MORE VIEWERS BEING REACHED IN SOUTH AFRICATBN in Africa has outgrown their facility; we are praying for God’s provision for a new property. Matt and Laurie’s trip this past summer included a visit to a ministry in Tanzania to explore ways to help the people develop bet-ter agricultural solutions. Several episodes of Praise were also brought to you from southern Africa, and they are available to view at watch.tbn.tv if you missed them.

As the sister network to TBN in Africa, TBN Mzansiwas recently launched and runs on a platform called Kwesé TV. This is significant because it is free and accessible to

viewers in 46 of 54 nations across the African continent. Over in East Africa, Lighthouse TV in Uganda is

thriving, reaching a potential of over 22 million view-ers. They recently participated in the Kampala Capital City Festival, where the people spent time in praise and worship, shared their testimonies, and soaked in the Gospel message. Lighthouse TV also takes every oppor-tunity to venture out into the community to meet with viewers, including a Sunday spent with Sseta Good Samaritan Church.

DOORS WIDE OPEN IN TAIWANTBN has also expanded the reach of the Gospel in Taiwan. It’s amazing how God has opened the door with national broadcaster TVBS. Countless lives are yet to be changed; countless stories are waiting to be told. Drive Thru History is currently airing on TVBS, spreading hope and grace in this new region.

YOUR SUPPORT IS MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCEThank you for being counted among the “laborers” and sharing in God’s harvest. Your faithfulness is bearing fruit one soul at a time, and bringing encouragement to those co-laboring with you in the studios and commu-nities around the world.

At TBN our mission is to offer you uplifting programming that brings hope, healing, and spiritual transformation. Did you see these most-watched programs
